The old adage"tone is in the fingers" really does have a place in the "i want it to sound like an upright" thing.good flatwound strings(roto 88s,la bella,tomastick) a decent pickup and EQ and more or less most mid range acoustic basses will get you in the park,but only a lot of time and patience and experimentation will enable you to get the sought after "mwah" that defines the upright sound.good luck.
